....to deliver an integrated signal processing subsystem based on the ATCA® standard. The high performance subsystem, a ground-based gateway, will enable vital terrestrial-satellite communications for a next-generation mobile satellite system to be used for national security, civilian and humanitarian efforts. Mercury’s expertise in designing and integrating high performance signal processing subsystems based on the ATCA and RapidIO® standards was a critical asset in winning this design. Mercury will deliver an ATCA-based platform that implements hundreds of digital signal processors (DSPs), interconnected by the RapidIO switch fabric, to deliver high bandwidth, low latency, deterministic performance. Using proven technology, Mercury’s subsystem provides massive processing power and manufacturing readiness, reduces costs and shortens development cycles. Because it is based on open standards, the solution can be easily upgraded over time.
